Chicago style hot dogs in Tuscaloosa

Ed Giles is a proud graduate of Hot Dog University. In fact, he graduated Cum Laude! Last month, Ed opened A Taste of Chicago in Tuscaloosa, AL., where he serves Chicago style hot dogs, real Maxwell Street Polish, T-Town Polish, Italian beef, Italian sausages, gyros, pizza puffs, and burgers. If you have the opportunity to visit this place, it really feels like you're in Chicago. www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20121218/news/121219801

I'm sorry, FBM, grits over hot dogs sounds like one of the most unappetizing things I've ever seem mentioned on these pages. Yikes! If I'm ever in down that way, I'll know where to get a dog dragged through the garden. I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know. Of course in Alabama the Tuscaloosa.

(Don't get the opportunity to use Marx Bros. Material much these days )

Why? Grits are not a Chicago cuisine. There are 1800 hot dog stands in Chicago and the only one that served grits for breakfast is out of business.

You are correct Sir! Grits are NOT Chicago Cuisine. And a Grits Dog would not sell in Chicago. (But then again, MAYBE it would!!) That's exactly why a Grits Dog WILL SELL in God's Country---Tuscaloosa Ala-Damn-Bama!!!

The Chicago pizza puff resembles a Pillsbury Toaster Strudel filled with ingredients found in and on a pizza. Made by Italco, a Chicago company that's been around since 1927, the food service version is deep fried and retail version is heated in the oven.
